Reggie Jackson reallywanted out from Oklahoma City, and with Brandon Jennings sidelined with a ruptured Achilles, he's getting a chance to make a team his own for the first time. Tonight he had his best game as a Piston, scoring an efficient 23 points and dropping 20 dimes in a win over the Grizzlies. You can see… »3/18/15 1:31am 3/18/15 1:31am

The Oklahoma City Thunder are glad they got rid of Reggie Jackson. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are glad; the coach and front office are glad; the fans are glad. By all accounts, by the time they finally traded him yesterday, in a three-way deal that landed him in Detroit, the discontented backup guard had… »2/20/15 1:55pm 2/20/15 1:55pm

Detroit star point guard Brandon Jennings left last night's game against the Bucks after suffering what appeared to be a painful third-quarter ankle injury. Woj is now reporting the Pistons fear Jennings suffered a torn Achilles tendon and that his season is over. »1/25/15 11:52am 1/25/15 11:52am

The Pistons have gone 10-2 since cutting Josh Smith, including last night's win over the Indiana Pacers that featured a last second tip-in by Andre Drummond. One of the players to benefit most from Smith's absence is Greg Monroe, who has more time to work in the post now that defenses can't double him and dare Smith… »1/17/15 6:15pm 1/17/15 6:15pm

Brandon Jennings's floater is a gorgeous, arcing, wisp of a shot; it darts just through and over a mess of limbs on its way up before dropping clean through the net, occasionally flying high enough to kiss off the top of the glass before coming back down. It's a perfect shot. There's nothing exactly like it in the… »1/13/15 2:33pm 1/13/15 2:33pm

The Detroit Pistons went to Dallas and beat the hell out of the Mavericks last night, 108-95, for their seventh consecutive victory. They're 7-0 since waiving Josh Smith on Dec. 22; they were 5-23 before that. Maybe they are good, now! »1/08/15 2:18pm 1/08/15 2:18pm

Stan Van Gundy coached his Pistons to a 105-104 win in San Antonio tonight over the Spurs, and a late inbound attempt with a tenth of a second remaining led him to advise Detroit players to "just form a fucking wall" around the rim. It was good advice!»1/06/15 11:18pm 1/06/15 11:18pm

The Cavs got their asses kicked inside-out by the terrible, terrible Pistons last night, 103-80, in Cleveland. They're 18-12 on the season, 5-5 in their last 10 games, fifth in the woeful Eastern Conference. They stink. »12/29/14 10:45am 12/29/14 10:45am

One of the many problems Stan Van Gundy faced when he took over the Detroit Pistons was Josh Smith's dreadful three-point shooting. He shot 265 threes last season and only hit 26 percent of them, but Stan Van has managed to put the straps on him a bit this year. Smith's shot just 30 threes so far (he's hit only eight… »12/08/14 12:16pm 12/08/14 12:16pm

It was 10 years ago tonight that the Pacers and Pistons came to blows, sparking the strangest, scariest, and still, today, the most improbable NBA happening of our lives. Players fighting fans in the stands; fans fighting players on the court. It was unforgettable. »11/19/14 9:45am 11/19/14 9:45am

For once, Timofey Mozgov was the one throwing a forearm into some poor schmuck's face before cramming one on his head, and it was good. As for Josh Smith, well, that's the unmistakable reaction of a man who is on a 25-win team and has just about had it with this bullshit. »3/20/14 10:47am 3/20/14 10:47am

There are better dunks and worse posterizations than this Thompson-Singler affair, but Singler's exit makes this fantastic. Despite his efforts to remain upright, he stumbles back for what feels like forever, until he runs into the cameraman. It's at this point that he gives in to momentum and just plunges into the… »2/24/14 11:10pm 2/24/14 11:10pm

Yesterday, Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that the Detroit Pistons had fired head coach Mo Cheeks. But Woj didn't just break the news to the NBA fans of the world, he also broke it to at least two Pistons players. »2/10/14 9:56am 2/10/14 9:56am
